"Corporate Stooges! Corporate Stooges!" Epoch stammered with anger, "You have no idea what you are talking about. The NSS is changing dramatically. We are no longer little policemen with superpowers. We are fighting for liberty and freedom now. Not just for 'supers', but everyone, anything. I do not stand for someone else. I stand here for life and freedom. Each living thing has the right to live and decide its own future, however, we have something great. The NSS is composed of people looking to pursue this life, and we have agreed on one thing: no one gets to decide when someone's life is over. That is our job, we ensure this. It has been a damned battle to convince even our own to allow even the worst of enemies survive. That is why I am here: to see where you stand, Frost Raptor, and defend the innocent, and end this spree you have been on."

Epoch drew in a breath and balanced himself, his emotions have caught up with him. Deep down he hoped that such a speech would persuade Akvo. "You may have been born with this skills, Raptor," Epoch started again, "and one of the most brilliant things about these gifts is using them to be productive, not destructive. It's for the future."

He knew now that he needed to prepare for the worst to come out of either of their reactions.

He had heard all that he needed to from the pair. His choice was going to require a great deal of speed as the opposing party would not be pleased. He breathed in and his great exhale crystalized in the air.

The next moment felt frozen in time for him.

His armor shed off his skin.

One Mississippi…

The ice freezing the officer also melted to the ground.

Two Mississippi…

He turned around and shot at the two droids accompanying Dr. Weird.

Epoch stood before Akvo, Akvo running toward him. Epoch started running, and turned to run aside the iceman. "What are you're intentions?" He asked, confused and angry. He could feel that static-like tingle as the energy flowed through his limbs. If he had to, he would try another one of those energy blasts.

Skylars roar cracks the mirror inside his vehicle, the roar also shatters the windows and windshield of the vehicle beside him. As he roars out, a second wave shoots from his mouth and Causes the shattered glass, which is now flying inwards at the soldiers, to crack and break into many finer pieces.

Regardless if they hit their targets or not Dr. Weird and the SR388 quickly move through the opening in the ceiling. After which he sees the four SR388’s he left outside dancing the Macarena celebrating their defeat of the officers.

“CUT THAT CRAP OUT, WE’RE LEAVING, NOW!!!” As he yells at his robots a lone police officer, the negotiator Terrance, managed to lean himself up against a flipped police cruiser.

“I won’t let you get away with this,” says Terrance as he coughs up more blood. “THIS IS FOR MY FRIENDS!!!” Trying to steady his hand Terrance aims his Glock 22 and fires off three rounds. One misses completely, the second hits the armor plating in the pod, and the third hits Dr. Weird in the shoulder.

“ARGH,” a sharp pain suddenly emanated from Dr. Weirds left shoulder; after grabbing the area where he was hit and pulling his hand away to see the thick red liquid which had transferred to it.

“NOBODY MAKE ME BLEED MY OWN BLOOD!!!” Putting his hand back to help stop the bleeding he sees the source of the shots. “TAKE HIM OUT!!!” The five SR388’s sighted in their target and each fired there two mounted lazers.

Ten beams of crimson light came raining down upon Terrance enveloping him in a blinding flash. Leaving only a charcoaled corpse behind when the light faded.

“Wait a minute that should have been brighter with the six of you.” Dr. Weird takes a quick head count he realizes he lost one. “Oh right, I lost one to Colonel Slushy. Well I can’t leave one of those behind now can I?” Pulling back out his universal remote he pushes several buttons on it and puts it back in his pocket.

Dr. Weird pulls a syringe out of his pocket and sticks it in his neck, “OH YEAH THAT’S THE GOOD STUFF.” Putting the empty syringe back in his pocket he leaves heading off into the sunset.________________________________________________________________________________

Epoch waited for Akvo to reply, but before he knew it, something whizzed by his ear and made contact with the officer. The contact made slapping sound as blood sprang forth and a gasp left the man. Dr. Weird must have been up to something!

Quickly, brow furrowed, Epoch tried to spin about. Before his feet could make contact and follow through on the spin, two sets of pronged nodes drove into his skin through the spandex. One in his side and the other off center in his back.

Falling, nearly face first, he hit the pavement and saw Dr. Weird's pod start lifting off into the darkening sky.

Rolling onto his back, Epoch roared in pain and anger. That filthy rat! He took out a man who was hardly breathing, Weird attacked both Akvo and himself with their backs turned. How unfair, I will never stand for this, Epoch's mind stammered.

During the roll, Epoch raised both of his hands before himself feeling the energy rush down his arms, fueled by his upset and adrenaline. "Get back here, coward!" He screamed as he attempted to fire off three shots.

Dark collapses back onto his hands and coughs heavily. Inhaling that much was almost to much for his lungs to handle. He knew he could do it, he had done it twice before and he was positive the sound would echo to Rapid City.

Dark leaned back and hoped that one of his previous echoes would be heard.

Glass shards shower the two soldiers. The driver ducks his head down and brings his left arm up to block the glass from getting to him. The passenger however isn’t so lucky. Glass flies into his face and throat, the wind forcing the blood to wrap around his neck. The soldier lies limp in the passenger seat. The driver looks over to his dead passenger and begins to freak out. The wind pressing his head tight against the seat.

Roll to see if he pulls it together (1-5 Fails and backs off from the vehicle, 6-10 Success and tries to ram the vehicle)

Epoch was actually impressed with Akvo's ability, but equally ashamed that his attacks missed the rapid escaping pod. His ears were ringing. Perhaps it was all the excitement, but Epoch barely noticed the explosion in the bank. The boom produced the ringing that seemed to chime off of the glimmering glass that now littered the ground around him and Frost Raptor.

With gusto, and some wincing, Epoch hurriedly ripped the nodes from his flesh and suit. Blood trickled from the small holes, strange little vampire bites about his torso. The ringing was fading, and Epoch realized that Akvo was armored.

Panting deeply, Epoch was trying to soothe his aching. He raised his hands before him, holding them parallel to the ground. In an active defense he felt much like an officer aiming a gun at a criminal. At this point he was willing to do whatever it took to avenge those lost lives, as well as stop the rampage that the Raptor had been on.

"What is your intent?" He shouted at Akvo above the vacating ringing, hoping that he would have to take as few offensive measures as possible.

Skylar notices the soldier get somewhat angry over his passengers death. He watches as the driver moves his vehicle over to make more room between their vehicles. The soldier looks over at Skylar and flips him off. Skylar smiles and locks his knees back on the steering wheel to keep the vehicle going straight. He looks in his rear view and notices the second Military vehicle behind him directly. He turns his body to the Humvee to his left.

The RV Dark is riding turns away from Rapid, so Dark leaps off to the hard ground and smashes his fist into the ground. He knew he would never make it there now. He was now lost in what to do. Keep going hoping to find a trace of anyone or anything, or turn back and just accept living in the wild.

He looks back, then forward. Unsure what to do. He slashes the ground angrily. He decides to keep going and hope to find something. Anything was better than nothing.

Dr. Weirds pod was streaking across the sky as he was heading in the direction of the howl. Despite the fact that he had been shot, and lost a possible ally and wasted his evening he was in rather high spirits, most likely due to the injection he gave himself.

Flying in a V formation Dr. Weird was singing with the SR388 doing back up,

When they come for me, I’ll be sitting at my deskWith my gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vestSinging “My, my, my, how the time does flyWhen you know you’re going to die by the end of the night.”

“AH,” pausing from the music, “what a wonderful November evening, I guess it is nice to get out of the lab every now and then. And I guess when I think about it this evening was rather fun. It’s always a good time instilling fear and rage on the populace with the aid of deadly force.”

Then he started singing again, and again the SR388’s providing backup for him.

Run run run All you do is fucking runBut you'll never run away from yourself.I know it's hard, but you've been there beforeand I know you're going to be there againI don't care what the stars may saybecause they always feed their bullshit to me.It's kind of sad how you lost what you hadand you're never going to have it again________________________________________________________________________________

Skylar misses two Seismic claps but the third hits the other Humvee and flips it into the divider of the interstate. The vehicle on his tail notices this and decides to ram him from the back. The vehicles bumper slowly approached the rear of his vehicle. Skylar had his foot to the floor yet the other kept gaining until he felt a small bump. Skylar slammed his foot down upon the breaks of his Humvee. The back of his vehicle and the front of the other lift up into the air. Skylar turns the wheel heavily which causes his vehicle to jerk off of the other, causing both the back of his, and the front of the others to smash into the ground. The suspension of his Humvee easily handles this due to it being rigged to hold bots. The front of the other however smashes down with a loud clank. Sparks fly out from under the vehicle as the engine scrapes against the cement.

Skylar jerks his wheel in the opposite direction to straighten out his vehicle. He lines his vehicle up in the opposite lane of the other car and slows his vehicle down to be neck and neck. Skylar turns his head and roars out to shatter their windows as well.

As Takeshi strode closer and closer to where Yilana had been fighting, immediately taking notice of Yilana’s chains meeting the bots straight in the optical and tearing through into the internal operating systems, shattering them.

Takeshi also took notice of the two disarmed soldiers, one on the ground still screaming in pain at that massive gash in his hand and a missing finger, the other on the other hand had only sustained laceration’s great enough to disarm him but not disable him. The soldier scrambled his hand around his belt, ultimately grabbing his handgun, then pointing it directly at the back of Yilana’s head.
